I've covered the World O' Meters way back in the day, but this this site NationMaster has the best and most interesting facts/stats I've ever seen. You could spend hours on it. Their goal is to be the web's one-stop resource for country statistics on everything from soldiers to wall plug voltages. The site also lets you compare U.S. states in over 3,000 ways. Here's a few samples:

- Armenia is a world leader in library members and cinemas per capita.- The USA has more personal computers than the next 7 countries combined.- Taiwan and Luxembourg are the only countries in the world where the mobile phones outnumber the people!
